We had the Mediterranean banquet which was delicious (& large servings). The staff were attentive and delightful. A very vibrant atmosphere, IMO ideally suited to group dining.

Always extremely tasty. I love the dips, the drinks and all of the mains I’ve tried so far. We just keep coming back. Love it here.

Great service, quality food, friendly staff. The staff were responsive when we said we had a show to go to. The food came out more quickly than usual and we made our show.

Fantastic food, very friendly and helpful staff. The owner is always around checking everything is alright with your meal but not in an annoying way. Half way through sat night dinner they dim the lights and a belly dancer performs around the tables for about half an hour. Great atmosphere. Best Lebanese food in Sydney. Also if there is some thing special you want to eat if you give them 24 hours notice they will prepare it for you.

Great food with a wide array of flavours; and fast service. The fast service caught us off guard because we ordered both entrees and mains at the same time... Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. We will definitely come back again.

I don't want anyone else to know about Zahli! The food is lovely, the service is excellent and it's so quiet for Sunday lunch. Stay that way!

Best Lebanese restaurant in Sydney in my opinion. Food was fresh, flavoursome and the service was outstanding. We've been to a few of the other Lebanese restaurants in Surry Hills but this is the best one of them all.

The service was friendly and efficient, while the food was absolutely lovely and value for money. I would definitely recommend for anyone to try. The eggplant was my favourite.

Great food, good service. Particularly welcome being recognised by mine host! And they are always interested in which play at the Belvoir we are seeing.

Great food and service. We opted for the banquet and if was just too much for four of us - would go for mixed dishes instead next time, but no complaints!!

What a great restaurant! It exceeded expectations - the setting and ambience was great (a huge plus was that the sound suppression - no echoes, no need to shout at people at your table, our conversation continued at normal levels!), the staff were helpful, friendly and the right level of attentiveness and the food was simply superb. All round one of the best eating out experiences we've had in ages. Everyone in our group commented on how great it was. We will certainly be back

Fabulous food, fabulous service. A real plus for Sydney dining. I thoroughly enjoyed all the recommendations. Wine list could do with a little more thought especially in the mid priced range. I can’t wait to return!

The service was absolutely outstanding, the staff were so helpful and friendly. We had a gluten-free person with us and they were so accommodating and gave him veggies to use for the dips, made him special salads etc. We had a great Lebanese rose and the $50 per head a banquet - sooo much food but all really great and fresh. Great value for money!

Delicious food, good service. Only slight problem was that we had to get to the theatre (Belvoir) and had somewhat limited time. Although we had advised this staff about this shortly after arrival, there was still somewhat of a rush to get the bill when we had to leave.

we shared the hot and cold meze and there was a great selection! Despite several vegetarians in our group the choice was perfect and the portions large. Very good quality for the cost

Great decor, very hospitable staff, nice table and great service. It is fairly typical but up market Lebanese fare with a number of seafood options really enjoyed the meal and the Lebanese red that accompanied it. In the words of MacArthur, we will return.

Came here due to the great reviews but restaurant was quite empty on a Sunday night. Food was OK but nothing to shout about and slightly too salty for our liking.

Food was pretty good One of the dishes was a little dry as it was over cooked However service should be improved as it took a long time to place our initial order The drinks were a little on the pricy side
